Both animals were quiet throughout.  No trace of vocalizations.  Even their movements made little noise.

COMMENT: This "independent" lashing may be one of the most distinct differences between torquatus and moloch.

NOTE:  This trail is not one of the ones followed last year.  I.E. the torquatus inds seen here probably were different from the ones seen last year.

This area is approx. 1/4 mile from where Sakis and tamarins were seen last year.

12:10pm.  Corner of forest, near which Sakis and tamarins were seen last year.  Seeing large mixed flock  [[Melindes?]] Squirrel Cuckoo; several kinds of large wood creepers; marbled Titigra; a yellow-breasted trogen (white under tail); a gray jacamar or puffed type, with long thin rose red bill; a euphoria (female, with rufous cap); small  flycatchers; probably others.
